He said don’t worry, he can reinstall the duct if going to restore the car. I said what are you doing? he said for every so many pounds of weight removed he picks up a tenth in the 1/4 mile. One day I went over and he was removing the A/C ducts. He wanted to drag race the car so he gutted the interior of its carpet and interior panels. Some rust in the 1/4’s but still passed inspection. I found a nice 1970 Nova SS big block, A/C, factory console gauges, bucket seat car, red with the white hockey stripes.

He had the motor rebuilt, Rolled the car on a wet road going thru the S turn. Had a friend in the 80’s that had a Nova this color (non-SS), 350, automatic, bench seat. The asking price seems fair for a survivor SS, especially if the underside is solid.Ĭar listing on Craigslist is gone. Amazingly, it still runs and moves under its own power on gas from 1988! A proper gas tank cleaning would be advised, but you have to love a project that shows promise like this despite sitting idle for so many years. The Nova comes with its matching 350 engine, Turbo transmission, and 12-bolt rear end. The seats may need an upholstery kit and the dashboard could likely be replaced if the next owner is a perfectionist fortunately, the seller is including new door panels and what sounds like an upholstery kit in the sale. The carpets look pretty tired but there’s little doubt it’s all there. The interior is so-so, but would likely improve greatly with a cleaning. The original hubcaps are a great look, and the seller notes a factory rear bumper is included as well. The seller reports it is an original paint car and that the interior is also original and retains its factory air conditioning setup.

The Nova looks super straight, with only some body damage on the right rear quarter to note as issues. Thanks to Barn Finds reader FordGuy 72 for the find. Find it here on craigslist for $7,999, where the seller claims he is only selling because he has 29 other projects ahead of it. It still does have some body issues but it looks to be straightforward repair, and the necessary body panels are included. The car is in New Hampshire but apparently came from the Midwest. The seller of this 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS claims it is a complete matching numbers example, including the engine, transmission, and 12 bolt rear end.
